Palace haven't released their 2022 financials yet. When they do they will jump up the spend table as they spent £85m last season (with nothing coming in). Their 2021 financials showed they were spending 95% of their turnover on wages. They did release a few players though.
I think if they go down they'd be in real trouble.

I wouldn't know as they were there when I turned up, you could be right as there are two side of the road, the main TG is tucked behind some houses but the youth side has undergone some insane development, they have one of those HUGE indoor domes, have taken over some other buildigns too so you may be spot on
This, they have spent and their financials was highlighted in one of the reviews of the new set of rules coming in as one of the clubs that would struggle

Yeh for sure because they have a terrible tiny ground and poor income streams, the issue is that their moderate spend still puts them further down than 12th currently. I think he did a good job there and would have kept them up, someone will come in and keep them up and take that cream of applause so it could all just be abit of an illusion.

But then Olise and Eze are two of the best creative midfielders in the league. Guehi and Anderson are decent CBs. Johnstone is a good keeper. They should be a top 10 team.

I also think their spending under Vieira comes after years of not spending much, players aging and also not getting much in sales under previous managers.
I think he's been unlucky with timing of fixtures etc, but they should have waited to the end of the season and re-assessed. Only thing you could point the finger about is why their strikers have become noticeably worse

And they had ridiculous old FBS, no real striker or back up striker past Zaha. They spent 85m and had zero income and thats because they had no waste they could leverage for money and then their squad still has glaring gaps in it, that tells you its own story.
They are still having to roll out Tomkins, Ward, Milo, Ayew and a few others...some of them were barely PL level at their peak

Be interesting to see who they go for - the Celtic guy perhaps? Kompany and Carrick won't move at this stage of the season. And I can't imagine Gerrard or Lampard will be able to fall up again.

Poor forwards. After a while, not being able to put the ball in the back of the net drains the rest of the team....

I use to watch youth football and Palace always had some outstanding youngsters but very few have come through, given they are not big spenders I would have thought more would have got a chance. Never see much of Eze is he injured?
Did they say when the prem are likely to introduce the new rules? Uefas are already in place but won't effect teams not in europe.

Zaha is definitely on a decline now, but I thought Eduardo would do well there

Odsonne Edouard?
I think he might have found his level tbh...also looks like he likes a pie or two nowadays...

That's potentially down to poor management (or poor mentality from him). A few years ago he was a big hope in French youth football.

Never really as good as he was made out either, I mean on his day yeh but people call Son Streaky but he would do it for 3 games and nothing for 15 (not literally)
1st half of the season he was doing alright. Possibly he signed a precontract with someone and now is just running his time down at palace.

I'd say poor mentality from him rather than poor management.
He has had his chances tbf, but he looks to me like the bright lights of London and especially the eateries have done for him..

Yeh, talented lad no doubt, perfect club to go and stake a claim, more Steak than claim though

Never got the praise this guy has had/got over the years, spent more time bitching at refs and opposing players every time anyone came near him. Was very glad when there were rumours around about us going in for him that we did not do so.
